A fun idea to think about when original members of a species stick around through all of their collective cultural evolution

Galadriel also has a pretty impressive list of horrors.

saw the Two Trees die
grandfather murdered by one of the gods before murder even was a thing
witnessed the massacre of her mother's kin
cursed by the Valar
walked across the Helcaraxë
saw the rise and fall of the Noldorin kingdoms of Beleriand
escaped the sack of Menegroth
present in the War of Wrath and the following ruin of Beleriand
rules Eregion with Celeborn until Sauron's attack destroys the realm, escapes to Lothlórien
daughter captured and tortured by orcs, leaves to the West heavily traumatized
high royalty born into literal paradise, ends up holding the last pieces of elven civilization in Middle-Earth together and ruling over a forest

Sees the most valiant and wise of men personally blessed by the Valar turn around and try to wage war against them because they aren't content with only living 5-10x longer than normal men. It's a wonder she still gives them the time of day.

That's the problem with immortality, hanging around and holding back the culture.

ESPECIALLY when the oldest of them are basically in charge of everything.
